Tracker Rack Project (Updated Pics)
« on: November 07, 2003, 01:36:49 PM »
After welding up my own hitch I decided to design and build a trail rack that could be assembled out of easily available materials and simple tools, no welding involved. Take a look at the pics and give me your opinion.
Thanks





The materials came from Home Depot. Ignore the bungee cords, I just removed a plastic container I use to haul small items.

Yep, I need some better pics. I plan on making a detailed drawing and parts list if enough people are interested.

No spare? ??? If the factory tire rack is still there this rack will still bolt up.

I'd like a rack that bolts there that will
hold a couple of Jerry Cans ;)

I think it looks great too!  But for me personally, I don't really need something like that.  I like the look of my spare tire cover.

But, GOOD work man! Looks really sharp!  :D

I'm interested in seeing the drawings and/or better pics. Looks like the perfect addition to my rig for hauling a gas can for my race bike ;)

Thanks for your opinion guys, I appreciate it. I decided to remove the SideTracker Rack for a fresh coat of paint and to get some better pics.

Mounting Point

After I bolted It Back On


I think these pics pretty much tell the story. It was easy to lay out and the tools I needed were a hacksaw and a drill but a vise would be pretty handy for bending the corners.

Here's the material list:
2- 1 1/2"X6' angle iron
1- 12"X24" expanded metal grate (already pre-cut at Home Depot)
9- 1/2"X1" bolts

Note: I have no idea how much weight the factory mount can stand but I've had at least 75lbs. on it with no problems so far.
